The World Languages and Cultures Department offers a full schedule of
courses in nine languages. All are transferable to the California
State University system and most are transferable to the University of
California system. Our instructors are experienced, enthusiastic, and
dedicated to helping you learn a language and and gain cultural competency.

Our students come from all walks of life and represent many age
groups; high
school students, college students with the goal of transferring
to a 4-year institution, working adults, veterans, and retired
professionals. You will be welcomed in our classes!

Students may complete a Major or a Certificate of
Accomplishment in many languages. Please see the individual
language pages for details.

Classes are offered day, evening, and Saturdays at several CCSF
locations in the hope you will find a section that fits in to your
demanding schedule.

We have a team of dedicated, experienced faculty. Our instructors
love teaching and sincerely want to help you learn about language and
culture. See the list of faculty on each language page.
